CHRISTMAS 2024 TINSEL TRAIL REGISTRATION

This year’s theme (not a requirement):  giant Christmas cards & luminaries; let your creativity run wild

Downtown Kinston Revitalization’s Illuminated Tinsel Trail lights up Saturday November 23rd at 6:00 PM in Pearson Park with an extended lighting ceremony featuring Jerry Coyle, dance studios and Santa.

Each year we invite businesses and creatives to participate in the 6-week-long lighting display to showcase your business and creativity.  

Over 5,000 guests visit Pearson Park during the holidays to enjoy the lighting displays. 

Spaces are limited. All have power to light your display. Reserve your space now and plan to share your creative Christmas spirit with the community. Displays remain lit through December 31st.  That is 6 weeks of promotion to over 5,000 people for a tax-deductible $100 contribution to Downtown Kinston Revitalization, a 501c3 non-profit. Be sure to include your business sign with your own lighted holiday creation. Partnering with another business is popular.
